May 15 Breaking: Tsarnaev Receives Death Penalty

A jury sentenced Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death for the Boston Marathon bombing, ignoring arguments that he was under the influence of his fanatical older brother.

The decision sets the stage for what could be the nation's first execution of a terrorist in the post-9/11 era, though the case is likely to go through years of appeals. The execution would be carried out by lethal injection.
